The rhyme scheme of this kyrielle has been modified slightly...
Won't look a stranger in the eye
She never ever would say Hi
Security is tight at home
Ten hidden cameras eyes do roam
Afraid to let her children play
Outside where they might go astray
Inside she fears the internet
Where bullies are a constant threat
She prays that school is really safe
She's heard the shots; she's read of rape
And once it's dark, she draws the shades
She's terrified when night invades
********
To rural village she has fled
No more suburban life to dread
Iambic Tetrameter
